Sanatan Sanstha calls blast charges a conspiracy

Panaji: Right wing Hindu organisation Sanatan Sanstha, allegedly linked with the Margao blast, has termed as "conspiracy" the charges against them.

"There is every possibility that someone may have planted the explosives in the scooter of Malgonda Patil (an accused who was killed in the blast). Police are unnecessarily trying to relate Sanatan Sanstha to this blast," a release by Sanstha said here this evening.

"We are not the accused else we are the complainants and the state should give us justice as one of our member has been killed," the release said.

Malgonda Patil, one of the main accused in the blast, was killed on the spot in the blast in Margao on Diwali eve.
"This is entirely a conspiracy and one of our follower has been killed by anti-social elements," it added.
